He had a squinty left eye which was a bit red and swollen about 2 and a half weeks ago... I took him to the vet who did a corneal stain and found no corneal damage - said it was most likely chlamydia. He gave me terramycin ointment to put on both of Siddha's eyes. I did that for a week and his eyes were looking very good after about 5 days. Well, I must have stopped too soon or he has gotten another infection because since Saturday, his right eye has been squinty and red. So, I started the terramycin again in both eyes. Sometimes, I look at his eyes and they seem okay, then later that evening or the next morning one or the other will look bad again. I don't know how much longer to keep doing the terramycin before I take him back to the vet. What else could it be??
Furthermore, I'm worried that he's going to develop a phobia of me because I have to hold him down to do the eye treatments twice a day. It would break my heart to make him hate me over this whole thing. I just want him to feel better and his eyes to get well.
Thanks for any input or thoughts on the matter.
